I have 10 days. I could use as much as they would give, because I could take random days off all the time and never stop loving it.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Company policy has changed, we can't carry over accrued vacation time any more. So I have 13 days to burn off from last year, and 16 days for this year. My plan is to take some of it in June, perhaps on the East coast, and some of it in August in southern Colorado coordinated with a trip my Dad and step mother are taking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My first guess--I said South America, but the answer was Australia. Second game, I said near Fort Stockton, and it was nearer Fort Smith. Only 800km the second time. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO PLAY. Or to navigate street view.

That ice was neat. I say, as someone without property at risk.
Sarameg, it's great that they're looking ahead and seeing you as a good fit for an advancement.

My corporate overlords are reorganizing bigtime. There's major bucking from our local boss to keep our existing reporting structure. I have a not-so-secret hope that the main contract will buy us out. TIAACREF! 5 weeks! But highly unlikely, so far corporate is bending to our local whims.

It's encouraging. And flips off my imposter complex. (Due to all my life drama these past few months- dying cat, dental stuff, being generally overwhelmed with the business of being a grownup- I feel like I'm not always giving a full effort at work. And I'm not, but they still think it is good enough.)

I'm having a major anxiety...clench about going to work tomorrow. I don't know what's going on.
I did just learn that Australia has big things. That seems...unsurprising.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Mine too. I like your cap off/cap on code, Cass, but I suspect I would lose the caps if they weren't on the bottles. Hm.
Mine go immediately into the drawer next to the fridge where random kitchen utensils live. They are never in any other place. On a bottle or in the drawer. Or I'd lose them all too.
I don't know exactly why I am supposed to have a unicorn corkscrew but I am absolutely sure what I will name it. And it will make me smile every time.
So? Insent my address to your profile addy.

Fascinating.
I did pretty well on 1, not bad on 3 others, but was off by half the globe on the last one. Total points 9811.
